China's shitty robots of the future!

We're living in 2030!

This is very common in China by the way. Their crappy "Roberts of the future" are not AI, they are just expensive remote controlled toys. They are controlled by remote, by the handler or operator. The moves are preprogrammed into the remote and the handler or operator just presses a button to execute the sequence of moves.

Rewinding multiple times in a row will often cause the video to skip 2 or more minutes forward instead of backwards..

I use the skip forward button to skip past the intros on shows, and when I skip too far, I'll use the rewind-10-seconds button to try to go backwards, but if I use it more than 2 times (20 seconds total), Plex will instead fast forward 2 or more minutes. It takes me a few seconds to realize what's happening, and the next thing I know, it's skipped forward half way through the show, even though I'm trying to rewind!!! WHY does it do this and how do I get it to stop?

I'm using a LibreWolf (a custom version of Firefox) to watch Plex.

I'm having a hard time trying to find a kettle that isn't made in China. It seems like everything is made in China, and being well versed in most-things China, I can't bring something that I will be consuming, like a Kettle, into my house from China. That said, I thought I did my research and bought a Vianté electric kettle only to find out that it was made in China. So many listings try to hide the fact where their products are made and it's frustrating. That said, I'm open to hearing from you guys on some suggestions. Whether it be from amazon or in a box store or wherever, I'm open to hearing ideas.

I do have a stove-top enamel on steel kettle that I have that's been flawless but I'm looking for something different.

EDIT: I just found out that it's the same composer, Clinton Shorter. That's cool!

I swear I'm not crazy. I love The Expanse, it's one of my favorite TV shows of all time. I've watched the series all the way though several times, and I love the music. I started rewatching the Colony show (also Scifi) and the music is exactly the same, and when I say exactly the same, I mean it. Am I the only one who noticed this?

EDIT: I sound probably be more specific. I'm not referring to title or ending music. I'm referring to the "suspense" music and the music in general in the background that is played throughout season 1 (and possibly season 2). That's what I'm referring to.

Here's just a random example:
